Domke
surname tree, burials, plats
Fayette County Iowa
Widow Rose Domke
and five known children immigrated 1869-1870 from Prussia, or likely
Schneidanuhl in NW Poland.
The family stayed in New York for the first year, abt. 1870-1871, before moving
to Chicago for two years, abt. 1871-1873.
They then moved to a 40a farm a half mile NxNW of Main.St, Eldorado, Dover.Twp,
Fayette.Co.IA, or abt. 1873-1874.
Eldorado and the NW corner of Westfield Twp, were the central locations for the
family in the early decades.
Julius & Martin would farm SE of Eldorado, as would Otellia with her husband
Daniel T. Danielsen/Danielson.
In 1891, son August would moved to a major farm in section 5 of Westfield.Twp.
Rose's grandson Fritz/Fred would later farm near Wadena in Illyria.Twp, followed
by east of Wadena in Highland Twp, of Clayton.Co.
August Domke (the oldest known child of Rose)
and wife Anna Marie, with seven
children moved from Dover.Twp to a major farm in sec 5 of Westfield.Twp in 1891.
Four more children were born on what became known as the 'Domke' farm north of
Fayette, in Westfield.Twp.
Both parents died in 1901. The eleven Domke children would remain together
on the farm, which was retained until sometime between the 1927 & 1938 plats.
The children remained very close throughout life, with several attending UIU at
Fayette, becoming career educators.
Eight of the eleven children of August remained unmarried, with no offspring
found for any of the eleven.

Dover Twp. Plat Maps, followed by
Westfield.Twp Plats.
Widow Rose Domke and children settled near Eldorado in
Dover.Twp, Fayette.Co.IA, 1873 or 1874.
In 1891, son August would moved to a major farm in section 5 of Westfield.Twp.
Rose's grandson Fritz/Fred would later farm near Wadena in Illyria.Twp, followed

Westfield Twp. Plats
August Domke
(the oldest known child of Rose) and
wife Anna Marie, with seven children moved from Dover.Twp
to a major farm in sec 5 of Westfield.Twp in 1891.
Four more children were born on what became known as the 'Domke' farm north of
Fayette, in Westfield.Twp.
Both parents died in 1901. The eleven Domke children
would remain together on the farm, which was retained until sometime
between the 1927 & 1938 plats.
The children remained very close throughout life, with several attending UIU at
Fayette, becoming career educators.
Eight of the eleven children remained unmarried, with no
offspring found for any of the eleven.













Do not trust as totally valid any tree/report data. Often World Connect or
Ancestry trees/data were utilized as a foundation upon which to add material
gleamed from obits, articles, histories, biographies, stories, burials, censuses
and other data collected. My primary interest is generally the pioneer
history and includes linking village and neighborhood surnames together for several of the early generations. Family connections, locations and other
data may have to be speculated in order to continue a complex series of
inter-related projects. My web pages are primarily personal study projects
for note keeping, but can also jump start others. I have a huge number of
projects started and rarely return to edit/update material unless interest is
rekindled. Any web pages online are usually linked off the 'Index Page.'
Numerous projects are not put on web pages but are in draft form or in the form
of photo albums on the 'Photo Hosting Site.' I may have material for
research use in storage, plus will/can upload other people's material if
appropriate.
